Well, the party was at my house, so I made LOTS...mississippi sin, spinach dip - not the one with Knorr soup mix] a cream cheese/chicken spread, those little weiners in barbq sauce [husband requires!], I baked a ham ala Alton Brown's City Ham, only without the gingersnap crust and people just...

I can probably make the fillings ahead tho...I'm trying to not be totally stressed out and exhausted!

Let me know if any of this sounds way out of line - am trying to plan for New Years Eve, making a few things, buying a few but want to do as much as possible ahead of time. Any ideas are appreciated! thinking of making baked cheese dips - Mississippi Sin and a cream cheese based spread with...

A friend of mine [military] told me about sending a young leuitenant [sp?] out to the flight line for a case of fallopian tubes...

how about an assortment of mini muffins - the pecan pie ones come to mind...can't remember where I've seen the recipe lately either... I'll be on the lookout for those breakfast cookie recipes - I can not get my 9th grader to eat breakfast at all...so if they are good, I can maybe get one in him...

Her new one is out and I've got to get to the library to be one of the first in line to check it out...I just can not buy new books, it may be some sort of personality fault! of course, I can justify it as a cookbook, cause I buy those new!

Hi - I had missed your post somehow - we went thru a similar situation in April when hubby had a huge MI, had a stent placed and continued having symptoms. In his case fortunately after a second cath, it was determined that symptoms were medication and stress related, he had an internal...

THANK YOU!!!! I was at Chili's the other day and they have them on the holiday menu - I'm a cheapo, so would prefer to try them at home. They really do sound good

I did a search for muscat then muscato [the Italian version of muscatel] cause it sounded familiar - I found listings under muscato - that might help - I could join you on the taste testing...of course I don't know what you remember, but always happy to help! Good luck!

I'm gonna revive this topic since I can't find a thread related to ceramic stove tops and the griddle/grill pans. Does anyone use a grill pan on your cook top? This is probably the only thing I could use cast iron for, since it's quick cooking...anyone try the Lodge grill pan on the smooth top...
